HVDC Simulation Model Engineer

1 week ago

Glasgow, Glasgow City, United Kingdom Hitachi Energy Full time

We are convinced that HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology, solutions for energy transfer with direct current at high voltages, is a long-term sustainable solution. The technology is used for energy transmission over long distances and to connect electricity networks with minimal losses. In addition to energy transfer, HVDC technology also alleviates electricity quality problems and can contribute to the stabilization of connected power grids. For offshore wind power or long-distance underwater transmissions, direct current is the only realistic energy transmission alternative.

The Opportunity
The HVDC System Design team is now searching for a highly motivated Simulation Model Engineer to join the team. As a Simulation model Engineer, you will have the chance to dive into the fascinating world of simulation, working on real-life applications that have a significant impact on the global transition to renewable energy resources through HVDC transmission connections.

Joining our team means working alongside a group of highly skilled and motivated professionals from around the world. Whether this is your first job in technical engineering, or you have some experience under your belt, we provide the necessary resources and support to help you succeed.

How You Will Make An Impact

  • Develop simulation models and tools to optimize power systems.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and customers to understand different requirements and design solutions.
  • Virtual representation of real-time control and protection system.
  • Testing and validation of different power system models and tools.
  • Create technical documentation and reports.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends and best practices related to simulation models and tools.

Background

  • Master's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Power/Energy Engineering, or a related field.
  • Previous experience with control/signal theory, dynamic modelling, and power system tools (for example PSCAD, PSSE, PowerFactory, PSLF, EMTP-RV, Hypersim, Dymola, PSS NETOMAC, etc.) is required.
  • Knowledge and/or interest in programming (C++, C#, Fortran, Python, MATLAB, Modellica).
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work and solve problems independently and take own initiatives.
